Double writing in category descriptions

[rich8049]

I am new to prestashop. When i enter categories descriptions I am getting two paragraphs of the same writing. the first one will end with ... indicating there is more and then it starts over and prints the whole thing.

Any ideas?

I've got the same problem. Why are answers taking so long here btw?

 

I found the problem by the way. In the category.tpl there is a display: none for a <p> element that is interfering with the <p> elements that come from you editor. Your editor is placing <p> elements around the description of the category and shows them despite the display:none. If you change the <p> with <div> the display:none will work fine. Here's the solution:

- In your category.tpl on line 60 you can use the code as below; i changed the p to div:

 

 

{if strlen($category->description) > 120}

<div id="category_description_short">{$category->description|truncate:120}</div>

<div id="category_description_full" style="display:none">{$category->description}</div>

<a href="#" onclick="$('#category_description_short').hide(); $('#category_description_full').show(); $(this).hide(); return false;" class="lnk_more">{l s='More'}</a>

{else}

<div>{$category->description}</div>

{/if}

 

Hope this works. Cheers!
